feat(client): 3-finger swipe toggles the on-screen keyboard mid-stream

iOS + Android: a three-finger vertical swipe up/down summons/dismisses the device soft keyboard while streaming (trackpad + pointer modes). Mobile scroll is now exactly two fingers so it never collides with the 3+-finger gesture (3+ only fell into the old `>= 2` scroll path by accident). Android: a TYPE_NULL KeyCaptureView plus IME meta-shift wrapping feeds key events through. iOS: UIKeyInput plus a SoftKeyMap char->VK table with a GCKeyboard dup gate so a hardware keyboard and the soft keyboard don't double-emit.
